Arizona<br />B. Phoenix<br />C. Phoenix Arizona<br />D. A suburb of Phoenix<br />E. Scottsdale, a suburb of Phoenix<br />F. Scottsdale Arizona<br />G. Scottsdale'<br />"<br /><br />What do you vote? I was thinking 'B', they would just straight up ignore the exact location, or wouldn't know one Phoenix suburb from another and just lump them all together and call them 'Phoenix'.<br /><br />Much to my surprise, they went with 'F', "Scottsdale Arizona", and when I say "they" I mean a search of "jennifer aniston vince vaughn arizona" on google, had 6 sites calling it "Scottsdale Arizona" off the 10 on the front page (I was unable to view the other 4 sites or they did not mention the couple in relation to their visit).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20306118-113867646641713065?l=lbb2phx.blogspot.com'/></div>mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12341227878069246280noreply@blogger.com0
